Creating Modern Web Applications Based on ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC.

Microsoft presented their vision for the web application development 10 years ago with the new ASP.NET platform. The pattern was Web Forms and this was then considered as a revolutionary approach for developing web applications - no spaghetti code, but code behind, rapid application development; opportunity of debugging; rich/extensive controls choice etc. There is a huge advantage in terms of usability in the Web Forms called View State. It genuinely maintains the state of the controls. Its drawback though is that it makes the web page heavier, hence in the era of fast web application is not really an option and applicable. Microsoft then presented to developers ASP.NET MVC pattern which works without View State and therefore applications based on MVC are lighter and faster than the Web Forms ones. MVC becomes more and more popular and a lot of Software architects withhold from using Web Forms. We believe that both: Web Forms and MVC have their pros and cons and we will explain our thesis as to how these should be used simultaneously in one application to make the best of their advantages.
